He's got personalized plates. Name's

Tana. Shouldn't be hard to trace. We

shall arrive.

>> Yeah,

>> we're on the scrambling device, so speak

freely. All right,

>> just one question, Mr. Wright. My people

in Vegas tell me that there was a drunk

found dead near that house this morning.

How was that, Mr. Wright?

>> All right, so I killed him, but the old

lady he was with got away.

>> It seems that witness isn't the only man

I've got to worry about.

>> Wasn't my fault. Look, I have no

intention of leaving town without

hitting that witness.

>> Enjoy your stay in Vegas, Mr. Wright.

>> Wait a wait a minute.

>> Uh, look, it's okay. It's okay. There's

no problem because uh you see I uh I uh

I know where she is. So uh I promise you

by the end of the day uh she's going to

be just as dead as he is.

>> Drink this.

>> No.

>> Look, Laura, we talk over coffee or we

don't talk at all.

>> You said you were going to give me a

drink.

>> This is it.

>> I need a drink. Look. Look at my hands.

They're shaking like gang beaters.

>> Have it your way.

>> I need it.

I need it.

>> Lori, tell me what happened to your

friend last night.

>> We were drunk. It was about uh I don't

know. It was dark. It was 2 or 3 in the

morning or something. And

I wanted to lie down. So, we were going

into the alley and and then I heard

something like a like a shot and someone

hit Charlie hard. I heard it.

>> A shot?

Lori, the police said that uh Charlie

fell down.

>> Somebody hit him. I heard it hard. Real

hard.

>> Okay. Okay. What did this guy look like?

>> Oh, I don't I don't know. I was drunk. I

don't know. Is anybody else with him?

>> No. No.

Uh,

yes.

There could have been others. I'm not

sure. See, uh, see the the man that hit

Charlie, he he pushed me and I fell. I

was I was dizzy. And

>> then then what did he do?

>> I guess he He ran away.

>> Why didn't you try to get some help?

>> I guess I must have passed out.

>> When I woke up, the only thing I could

think to do was call you.

I guess after I left, someone must have

found the body and uh called the police.

Dad, please. Please find help find

Charlie's killer, please. Will you?

Please,

>> Larry. I'm a professional. I charge for

my services.

>> Obviously, I can't give you anything

like that.

>> Yes, you can. Now, I'll look into

Charlie's death if you promise to sober

up and stay that way.

>> But

>> that's the deal.

Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> All right. I want you to stay here for a

while till I find out what's going on.

Now, you might not remember the killer's

face, but he doesn't know that. And he

might try to do something about it.

>> Dan,

Charlie's body. Where is it?

I'll contact you if you're home. Okay.

>> Thanks. Yeah.

>> Hi, Dian. I'm sorry I'm late, but you

should have seen the

>> This is my secretary be. This is an old

friend of mine, Lori Bishop.

>> Hello.

All

right. Come on. I want you to lie down.

Come on. Lie down.

>> It's always like this. When I need a

drink, D, please.

>> You're in a rest. All right.

>> Please, Dad. I need a drink.

>> Just lie down. Okay.

>> I don't I want a No.

>> No. Dad, I want a drink, Dad.

>> Dad, it's all right.

>> You promised J. I want a drink. I want a

drink.

Lorie Bishop said she saw someone in

that alley with the rifle.

>> The Lori Bishop. You mean the one that

hasn't drawn a sober breath since she

hit skid row?

>> Yeah, the Lori Bishop.

>> Look, Dan, I respected that lady as much

as anybody. But what she was is not what

she is. A drunk.

>> Dave, the bullet hole in the door across

from the alley is no hallucination.

>> All right. What makes you think that

bullet hole was made last night?

>> Because Lorie said she saw someone club

her friend to death with a rifle.

>> Club to death?

Dan, the old man was drunk. He fell down

and hit his head. Now, that's the way

the report reads.

>> Dave, I know how bad you'd feel if you

didn't check out that bullet hole and it

turns out that Charlie was murdered.

>> You do.

>> I do. Get your coat, Nelson.

>> You're all hard.

What do you have?

>> Plenty. You know, you wave the price of

a bottle of port in front of their

noses. You can't get some of them wos to

shut up.

>> Who is the old man?

>> Charlie Wade. Hey, you used to be a high

school principal, believe it or not.

Hey, you run around with some old broad

named uh Lorie Bishop. Nobody seems to

know what she used to be.

Nobody's seen her since yesterday.

>> Tan Investigations.

>> Yeah. Hello. Um I'd like to talk to

Lorie Bishop. Uh is she there?

Uh, yeah, she's here, but um she's

indisposed at the moment. Who's this?

>> I'm a friend of Charlie's. I I heard

about what happened, and I'd like to

tell her how sorry I am.

>> Oh, that's nice. Uh, why don't you give

me your name and number? I'll tell her

you called.

>> Oh, no, no, that's okay. Um, I'll call

back later. Thank you.

>> Sorry I asked.

She's there.

So now we're sure she's in with the PI.

Terrific.

>> So now we lure her out of there.

>> All right. Um, go nose around the morg.

See what the county intends to do with

Charlie's remains.

>> Hey.

>> Hey. If Fenfield sends a cleanup boy out

here, you can bet the shooting is not

going to stop with me.

>> All right.

I know. Don't tell me it's not there.

Dave, I'm telling you, 45 minutes ago,

there was a bullet hole in that door

frame. Somebody fix this.

>> Dan, I can't very well investigate a

bullet hole that doesn't exist.

>> Sorry, old buddy.

That guy's got pain in the rear written

all over him. He'll be taken care of.

Come on. We've got to get back.

>> Hi.

>> I'm not buying anything.

>> I'm not selling anything.

Pity. I would have changed my mind. You

>> tried to get in touch with the people

who live next door. Uh, you know them

very well.

>> Nope.

>> Uh, do you know their names?

>> All I know is three nights in a row.

Every couple months, some men come and

they go, mostly at night. My kind of

neighbor.

>> Yeah. Was uh somebody there last night?

Not that I know of.

>> Uh, it sure looks like the yard's kept

up.

>> Some guy comes by every now and then,

gives the lawn a shot.

If you'd like to talk to him, you're

welcome to wait here.

>> You think he'll be by today?

>> No.

H

damn.

>> Hi, Dan. How are you?

>> Really?

>> Just the man I wanted to see.

>> Now, I know what that means. If you want

me to go someplace

>> to the County Hall of Records to find

out who owns the house at 21109 Glendale

Avenue.

>> 21109 Glendale.

>> Right.

>> I'm gone.

>> Bye.

>> Well, ladies, how goes it?

>> Welcome back, counselor.

>> Uh, what was the name of that man you

used to practice law with?

>> Why? Well, I thought I would invite him

over so you could talk about old times.

>> No,

that was not part of our deal.

>> The deal was you'd get your act

together.

>> And we both know you can't do that until

you face the reason you started

drinking.

>> Dan,

>> a year ago, Lorie Bishop was the best

damn defense attorney in the state of

Nevada.

>> That's right. I was good. I was so damn

good. You know what I did?

I defended a man I knew was guilty, a

murderer, and I knew it. But I prepared

the most brilliant defense of my career

for him. Because a lawyer's job is not

to pass judgment, but to defend a client

to the best of his or her ability. And I

got him off. And you know, you know what

he did? One week later, he went on and

and butchered three of the people who

testified against him. Three more

victims. All because of me. That's how

good I was. I should have been put away.

They should have put me away. Oh my god.

Why?

Oh. Oh my god.

Oh no.

M

>> punished yourself enough.

>> Dad. Yo, hang on.

Hey, how you doing?

>> Hey, Bins. You find the owner of the

house?

>> Uh, sort of.

>> Bins.

>> Well, this place is owned by a holding

company which is owned by another

company which is owned by another

company. And the list goes on from here

to Pittsburgh.

>> So, the name of the actual owner is

buried deep.

>> Very, very deep. You want me to keep

trying?

>> Well, right now, just knowing that

somebody's making it tough to check out

that house is enough.

>> Oh, thank you. I'm so happy I could kiss

you. Well,

on the kitten, big fella. I'll see you.

Hello.

>> Uh, hello. Uh, I'm with the Palm Funeral

Home.

>> I understand someone there is prepared

to make arrangements for the funeral of

Charles Wade.

>> Oh, yes, I am. I I was a close friend of

Charlie's.

>> There are a few things I'd like to

discuss with you. Would it be convenient

for you to come in this afternoon?

>> Uh, oh. Uh, I could be there in 10

minutes.

>> Fine. Thank you.

>> That was the funeral home. They want to

go over the burial arrangements with me.

>> Well, wait a minute. I'll take you.

I'll be

this is a personal thing. I uh I'd

really rather go by myself

and it's not very far. I can walk.

>> Lori,

you're not going to stop off anywhere,

are you?

>> No.

No, I'm not.

Get ready. She'll be coming up behind us

in about 10 minutes.

Well, how's my favorite bookkeeper?

>> Hi, Dan.

>> Where's Lori?

>> Well, I said she could go to the funeral

home to make the burial arrangements.

>> What?

Dan, she needs people to trust her.

She'll be okay.

>> But be I've made all the arrangements.

There are no arrangements to make.

>> Oh my god, Dan. She left 5 minutes ago.

She walked.

There she is. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Are you all right being

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

DA says this is getting out of hand now.

I don't care what you have to do. Keep

the witness under wraps.

>> Yeah. Okay.

People downtown say yesterday somebody

tried to kill the old lady we passed in

the alley.

>> The shooter tried to hit her.

>> Yeah, it looks that way.

>> That means she really did see something

after all. It also means that PI will be

more underfoot than ever.

Maybe it's time we paid a visit to

Dantana. With pleasure.

>> Don't you think it's about time you told

me what's going on?

>> Don't you think it's about time you told

me what you're talking about?

>> Lori Bishop,

you were informed that somebody just

tried to kill her.

>> The report is on my desk. And doesn't it

tell you anything? Like maybe she might

be telling the truth about what happened

in the alley that night.

>> Dan, I'm going to say this loud and

clear. Leave it alone. Leave what alone?

What happened to procedure? You're

always talking about procedure. You

know, your men processed her in about 5

minutes. They didn't even ask her to

describe the man she saw in the alley.

Didn't ask her to look at a mugbook.

>> Leave it alone. What about the plates on

that car? I mean, how long does it take

to check us out at a place, Dave?

>> I'll say this slowly. We are working on

it.

>> You're working on it. Hell, you're

stonewalling me.

Yo, as far as I can tell, the old lady's

in there with his secretary

and some guy that showed wearing roller

skates.

>> I'll be there as soon as I have

everything ready.

Hallelujah.

You guys looking for me?

>> As a matter of fact, we are. Mr. Tanner,

there's a few things we'd like to

discuss with you.

>> Fine. Just like to remind you that this

is a public place. I'd like to advise

discretion.

>> You'd advise us. That's your problem,

Tanner. You don't know who or what

you're dealing with. Yet you keep right

on sticking your head where it doesn't

belong.

>> So why don't you guys just tell me

what's going on?

>> We got a better idea. Why don't you keep

your face to yourself? For instance, no

more questions about the house at 21109

Glendale.

>> I'll think about it.

>> No, what you'll do is forget you ever

saw the house or us.

>> Not interested.

>> We're not here to peique your interest,

Tanner. We're telling you to lay off.

Is there really any need for further

conversation?

>> No, I think that about covers it.

>> You're out of your league, Tanner.

That's all you need to know.

Now for my next brilliant move. Card

players

players two cards to me. Please

>> the bank two card for the players.

I draw a card. You have nine to tie. One

more card, sir.

Now the players win. Nine over four the

players.

>> You're starting to draw bigger crowds

than Wayne Newton.

>> That'll be the day. Daniel.

>> Oh.

>> Oh. Move down one, darling. He needs it

more than I do.

>> Yeah. You see the reason I look like

this? I was asking too many questions

>> about what?

>> House on Glendale Avenue. Owner hardly

ever there. Moves in and out mostly at

night. And he sure doesn't want me

finding out who he is.

>> Tried the Hall of Records.

>> My associate did. He came up with a list

of holding companies longer than the

line at divorce court.

>> Modest house, modest neighborhood.

>> Exactly.

You wouldn't happen to have an idea who

could own a house like that, would you?

>> Sounds to me like you own it, Daniel.

>> I own it. You own it. I own it. This

lovely lady.

Everybody who's ever filled out a W2

form.

>> The government owns it.

>> You know how secretive the federalis can

be at times.

Of course, a safe house.

The guy Li saw must have been a shooter.

He was trying to kill whoever the

government boys were hiding in that

house. Charlie and Lori stumbled into

the path of the shooter. He killed

Charlie, tried to kill Lori.

>> 4,000

>> 4,000 on the bank for the gentleman.

Kites, please.

>> Which means whoever worked you over was

a federal agent.

It's only a guess, of course.

Of course. Thanks, Jim.

>> Take care of this guy. I think he's a

genius.

>> I'm sure I am.

I'll get it.

Who is it?

>> Federal agents. We'd like to see Lori

Bishop, please.

>> Benzer, be careful.

>> You have some identification.

Lloyd Kohler, Peter Bridges.

Open the door.

Lori Bishop.

>> Yes.

>> We'd like you to come with us, please.

>> Now, wait a minute.

>> She'll be in good hands, lady. Well,

>> hey, can't you wait a few minutes? Our

boss will be right back.

>> We just finished talking to you, boss.

Now, unless you want to be charged with

obstruction of justice, both of you,

just relax,

Miss Bishop.

They feds.

>> Yeah, they got to be.

>> Now what?

>> Follow them. Maybe they'll lead us to

the witness.

>> And if they don't,

>> we still have to take her out, though.

Wait, then we'll take care of the

witness. Come on, let's go.

Hey, Ben. Speak.

>> Dan, we've been looking for you.

>> What are you doing here? Where's Lori?

>> Two federal agents came and took her

away.

>> Hey, I would have stopped him, you know,

but one of these guys was the biggest

human person I've ever seen in my life.

He said he talked to you. Looks like he

did.

>> Yes, he did. Do you know where they took

her?

>> No.

>> I looked at their ID. I'm sure it was

real. So, wherever she is, she's with

federal agent, so she's got to be all

right, right?

>> What are we going to do? I want to find

out where they took her.

>> How? By asking someone who knows.

>> Metro, Sergeant Staunch.

>> Lieutenant Nelson, please.

>> He's with the SWAT team. They have a

robbery suspect cornered in a warehouse

at Kezwick in Rainbow Road.

>> Thank you very much.

There's no one on your suspect.

Frequency 17 is clear.

Take it down.

>> Where is she, Dave? That's all I want to

know. I don't know what you're talking

about.

>> I don't care about that safe house or

that target of those two government d

goons you've been playing footsy with.

Just tell me where they got her.

>> I'm telling you I don't know what you're

talking about.

>> Don't play that deaf and dumb game with

me. Not when there's a killer out there

with connections and a damn good reason

for wanting Lori dead. Dan, did it ever

occur to you I'm under orders? That I'm

doing what I'm doing because I'm trying

to save my child.

>> I've heard this speech already.

>> Well, then maybe if I repeat it, you'll

get the point. Now, I'm responsible to a

lot of people. people who have a better

perspective on this thing than you do.

>> That's a cop out.

>> You're coping out because maybe maybe

just this time you're doing your damnest

not to have to take a backseat in this

thing.

>> And you're trying your damnest to pass

the buck. If Lory's murdered, you could

blame it on your superiors, right?

>> Nothing's going to happen to Lorie

Bishop.

>> That assassin knows she was with me. He

could have been watching my place. He

could know where she is right now.

>> Dan, it is out of my hands.

>> Oh, that's great. It's out of your

hands. You want me to quote you when

they bring her body to the

>> morg?

Try to garden suite at the desert in.

>> What?

>> Yeah, that's right.

Go ahead.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

>> Yeah. You uh you think the witness is in

there?

>> Oh, yeah. I uh I think we stand the best

chance of hitting him from up there.

>> Yeah.

>> All right. I'm going to need the rifle

with the scope for this one.

Why don't you fix it while I check it

out? All right.

>> We'll do.

>> Here's our problem, Miss Bishop.

>> A federal case is about to be tried here

in Las Vegas, and our job is to protect

this man, Mike Maguire. He's the

prosecution's key witness. His testimony

can put away an underworld figure we've

been after for a long time. The man who

hired the gunman you saw in the alley.

The gunman wanted to kill your witness

before he could testify.

Only Charlie died instead.

Mhm.

We can offer this man protection,

but there's still a chance a killer can

get past our security. If that happens,

he'll be dead,

just like your friend.

>> I wish I could help.

>> We think you can, Miss Bishop.

The police told us about the attempt on

your life yesterday. You know, it's

quite obvious you got a good look at the

gunman in the alley.

>> But but I was drunk that night. I I

can't remember. I don't remember what he

looked like.

>> Come on, lady. This man's life is at

stake. He's taking a big chance. Help

him out.

>> Whether you like it or not, you're

involved. That trigger boy's after you,

too.

>> That's right. You got nothing to lose by

cooperating now.

>> I'd like to cooperate. Believe me,

there's nothing I'd like better than to

help you catch Charlie's killer. But I

can't. I'm as useless to you now as a as

it was to Charlie. Then I

>> get her a drink.

>> Oh.

Oh, no. No, thank you. Beautiful.

Heat.

Heat.

Hey, you.

Hold it.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat. N.

Heat. Heat.

Get out.

Get out.

Let me give you a hand.

Take it back, Tanner. You're not out of

your league.

>> Tana, glad you could make it. Thanks for

inviting me.

>> Well, we could hardly show our gratitude

to Lori without thanking you, too. And

without apologizing.

>> When do you boys head back to

Washington?

>> Well, the trial ended yesterday. We go

home tomorrow.

>> The guilty verdict against that big shot

in California.

>> And with a whole briefcase full of

charges against the many hired to kill

our witness.

>> Dan,

>> she's coming finally. I've never seen

anybody so nervous as the junior prom.

Don't leave me.

>> You look wonderful.

>> Thank you.

I I haven't seen these people in so

long. How did you ever get them to come?

Well, be sent out the invitations

and I think you did the rest a long time

ago.

You've got a lot of friends.

>> Thank you. Thank you. Oh, no.

>> It's all right. It's ginger ale.

Oh,

thank you

>> to you.

>> Cheers.

>> Cheers.

>> Cheers.

>> Cheers, Lori.

>> Thank you. Cheers. Thank you.

Heat. Heat.

Yeah.
